Did she twice give the Luvvers a start? (4)
I believe the answer is:
lulu
'the luvvers a start?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'did she twice' is the wordplay.
'did she' becomes 'lu' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'twice' indicates the doubling of some letters.
'lu' duplicated is 'LULU'.
'give' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lulu that I've seen before include "modern opera" , "wonderful thing" , "Glaswegian 60s pop singer" , "Exceptional thing (colloq.); Berg opera" , "Outstanding person; singer" .)
